I had my first one for three summers. My daughter dropped it while putting pool away last year. Loved it so much bought another. It will work wonderful for your pool. I called intex and they told me how much salt the first year. Last year just asked my pool supply store. (I have a 52inch deep 10x20foot.) I believe i used 60lbs.. But I'll just ask my pool store again. I bought water softener salt. Worked just fine. . No need for chlorine tablets this generates all the chlorine you need.

I have a 2150 GPH pump and it works great!...also..the user manual that comes with the saltwater system tells you how much salt to add based on the size of your pool. It shows specific amounts for Intex brand pools, as well as, if you are trying to use it on an non Intex pool. I highly recommend this system, as it keeps the water sparkly clean. I have a small pool and only had to add about 150 lbs of salt..and the salt is about $5 for 40 lbs at my local store. The salt system has a timer that will "chlorinate" your water for a up to 12 hours a day. you can set the time to run for 1 hour..all the way up to 12 hours. My small pool...i have the main filter pump running for 6 hours, and the salt system running for 2...and I have had zero problems with water quality..all I have done is add salt at start up. Word of warning: err to the low side when adding salt...as you can always add a lil more to get the concentration right...if you add to much salt, you may have to partial drain the pool and re-add fresh water to dilute the concentration if its too high. better to have low salt than too much salt. the salt will not evaporate..but the water will in the hot summer months...thus increasing the concentraion slightly. adding a little water from the hose will get the concentration back correct, due to the evaporated water from the sun...but only if you start out with the correct amount and don't totally over salt it. mine called for 160lbs...i added 140, for example...then added a few cups of salt to bring it up a little. the saltwater system has alarms to warn you of : low water flow, high salt, and low salt. You will like it! thumbs up from me :)

Im wondering if this worked for you? I have the same pool which is about 10,000 gallons- higher than the 7,000 it states. I read that you just need to look at how much the pump cycles per hour- was this one big enough for you? How's it working?

Depends on the volume of water in your pool. Read the instructions and work with a local pool company that sells salt.

Look here Brenda for some ideas http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/above-ground-pools/easy-set-pools/18-549cm-easy-set-pools-w-ss/57928eg.htmlon the saltwater system you will need.

I would recommend a better pool pump and sand filter. The system my not be moving the water around enough for the salt water system which will cause it to fail.

We have a 27'4' round above ground pool and this pump works just fine with it. Hope this helps.

Yes and a lot of it, depending on your pool size. When we purchased the Solaxx CLG10A, we had to add several hundred pounds of salt for our above ground pool.

Yes! Just add extra 50 lbs of salt.Be sure to remove pump and lines.Or be suee to keep pump running.

I have a 12'x30" above ground Intex pool. It works great, HOWEVER, you must order the adapter from the Circulator website if you have this type of pool. I STRONGLY recommend contacting Wes through the Circulator website BEFORE purchasing any adapters as there are a couple of different ones. Explain to him what your filter parts look like (white/beige, white/blue, etc) and he will get you the exact part you need. Otherwise, works great!

I don't know if your pool is above ground or built in. For above ground I think all you really need is a bypass kit. For in ground (which I have) all you need is to pipe a side stream off the pump and back into the pool. I have 4 units, 2 units in series on each of 2 parallel side streams. I haven't had it installed long enough to see some hot weather and find out how well it works.

what saltwater system to purchase for a 30 x 54 23,000 gallon above ground pool trying to convert from chlorine to saltwater.
1150685
Yes it will work. I think you are wrongg on the number of gallons the pool holds. A 24x4-1/2 pool holds about 12,000 gallons of water according to Intex not 18,000 You will have to run it 5 hours a day every day and your pool should be crystal clear all the time. You will need 290 lbs. of pool salt for start up and you should never have to add salt after that as salt doesn't evaporate---water does. I have an 18x4-1/2 pool and mine runs for 3 hrs. every day all year long as I live-in Florida. Hope this helps. This is our second salt water system and we love it.

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

I'm not sure if Amazon matches prices. I stayed with them since it was free shipping and I also bought pump and sand filter. (House fire took everything out). Anyways, was good directions on hook up. I'd say if you can wire a switch in your house, you can install this. Advice: only put 3/4 amount of salt in and then work your way up to the ppm system requires.

i would start with about 6 bags i think mine has too much salt . my pool has a 7800 gallon capacity. i spread the salt around and then used my pool brush to help the salt dissolve. started my pump and have had no problems..

if you have the larger fittings on the plunger valves you can, the hoses with the new pump hook right up. if you have a smaller intex pool, you have to order the adaptors to screw onto the plunger valves, or you can drain the pool below the inlet and outlet valves and replace them. if you have a 20' or 24' intex pool they should hook right up. this pump is amazing, ive had it about a month and a half now, no problems.

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately. The pump that comes with with pool is only for clorinated water and will not work with salt water. You can contact Intex.com directly to order a salt water pump but they are not cheap! These pools get leaks and after a couple of years the liners have to be replaced and they cost about $200 and you can't get the liner from any other pool supplier but Intex. They have made sure of that so they control the pricing. So if the liner lasted longer I would invest in a saltwater pump however....I am not sure it is worth it to do. You will have a lower maintenance pool and much cleaner healthier water. You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately.
